Their losses have a few similarities along those lines, they didn't lose any games with 15 or fewer fouls called on them, and are 2-3 with 22 or more fouls called on them. We've also played those types of defensive teams in the BE, so we can beat teams like that, even if we don't get a tight whistle, but it will be much harder for us if the refs ignore the whistles like they did with SD State
Rebounding is another similarity for the teams that beat them. In the 8 losses they lost the rebounding battle 6 times and the other 2 were close enough to be a push
We'll need to shoot more around our norm to win this one. Purdue beat them with an eFG% of .389, but demolished them on the boards and got to the FT line a lot in the game (30 fouls called on Tennessee and 48 FT's by Purdue.. ouch)
They route a ton of shots through Knecht (6-6) so we will be trying to run him off the line from 3 PT. Rare you see a guy go up in PPG/Points per minute when jumping up in conferences, but his USG at Northern Colorado was 19.8% and 28.2% and is now 32.1% (by comparison Trey leads CU at 26.7% this year) - their Big Aidoo gets a lot of dunks and shots at the rim from their 3 PT shooting, but was nullified (fouled out vs. Edey) so that will be a matchup to watch
My keys are the same as they've been most of this year. Rebound and limit turnovers. Do that and we have a good chance of getting enough possessions to have a bounce back game with our shooting

I haven't seen them play. But wondering how much of a midrange game they have. Seems like it's dunks and 3s or bust, maybe? Anybody seen game video of them? If they don't, that bodes well for us. We'll run them off the 3 point line and hopefully Kalk will limit the dunks.

Since Purdue has a dominant big man and we might end up playing them, I thought I would check the box score in their game against TN.
In the TN v Purdue game early this season, there were a combined 51 fouls called and 78 FT’s shot. 30 fouls on TN.
Maybe, I’ve gotten too used to Creighton not fouling but that sounds like a LOT to me and like a very not fun game to watch.
TN’s big man fouled out in 13 minutes. Even Edey had 4 fouls and only played 26 minutes.
